User story

As a user, I want to use the serialized String output of Get Task Variable REST API directly in the Put Task variable REST API, so that I can complete my workflow without pre-processing the variables.

Background

Currently, the user needs to add the double quotes in the String value and escape it in the PUT request body (as shown below). 

{
    "type": "Object",
    "value": "\"someString\"",
    "valueInfo": {
        "objectTypeName": "java.lang.String",
        "serializationDataFormat": "application/json"
    }
}

Else, it will raise the following error: 

The expected behavior is that I can use the output of Get Task Variable REST API directly to update a task variable via Put Task variable REST API.

Acceptance criteria

• I can use the output of Get Task Variable REST API to update a task variable via Put Task variable REST API without needing to escape the " "
